NevoS70 and Q50 controllers now control much more with the addition of Z-Wave home control and compatibility with more devices

January 10, 2009

New software upgrades for the latest Nevo devices enable two-way Z-Wave™ home control for  systems such as lighting, HVAC, window coverings, and others.  In addition, it enables two-way communication, including metadata, for select devices connected via two-way serial.

Two-way Z-Wave Control
Both the NevoS70 and NevoQ50 software upgrades enable full two-way Z-Wave control for:

  1. Lighting
  2. Window coverings
  3. HVAC
  4. Access control (lock/unlock)
  5. Sensors (on/off)
  6. Generic Z-Wave devices

Z-Wave is a next-generation wireless ecosystem that lets home electronics talk to each other, and to users, via remote control. It uses simple, reliable, low-power radio frequency (RF) waves that easily travel through walls, floors, and cabinets. This RF capability allows Nevo controllers to transmit to equipment hidden behind walls, inside cabinets, or in other rooms.

Two-way Serial Communication with New Devices
The NevoS70 and NevoQ50 also now feature two-way serial communications for the following select devices:

  1. iPort® digital media system for iPod® docking stations
  2. Escient FireBall™ and Vision™ media servers
  3. Russound RNET® multiroom audio / video distribution systems
  4. Lutron RadioRA® and HomeWorks lighting systems
